Katrina Story Guided 2 Hours Walking Tour
Hurricane Katrina changed New Orleans forever. On this tour we will discuss the storm and what happened, why it happened, and the efforts post storm to change the way we deal with future storms.
You will be amazed at how much our city is destined and linked to the Mississippi River. You will hear about the past, present and future of New Orleans life in a city primarily at or below sea level.
We tell you the stories from first hand experience because we are the ones who lived it. We are also the environmentalists who worked on the recovery efforts and are working on the changes for the future.
We'll discuss what is being done to defend against another storm like Katrina. You'll hear a story of both tragedy and hope, while being given insights to the political, economic and social battles that continue to this day.
